Re: [Lnc-business] Cuban Prisoner Resolution - Take 2- request for co-sponsors
Sam it failed but several indicated they would entertain different wording. Thank you Joshua for co-sponsoring. We need one more.

Our own government often looks into activities if our own state or branches - yes they would presumably know but not necessarily. They should investigate how this was handled was the point by the NV author. On Sun, Feb 26, 2017 at 11:24 AM Sam Goldstein <goldsteinatlarge@gmail.com> wrote: Did the first motion fail?

I fail, however, to understand the following clause: *We further ask for an inquiry and response from** the Castro regime for information related to their detention,* Are we asking the Cuban government, which is holding the people, to look into it? Wouldn't they, presumably, already know the answer? It's fully possible that I'm missing something, though. Joshua A. Katz On Sun, Feb 26, 2017 at 11:27 AM, Caryn Ann Harlos <carynannharlos@gmail.com

I took Joshua's new resolution to the author of the Nevada resolution for input. He suggested some changes and agreed that the last paragraph should not be a part (in his non-LNC opinion). IF this passes, specific direction we can give to the staff can be part of a separate motion (and one that does not require 3/4 btw). I would like to offer this as a new resolution and ask for co-sponsors: *The Libertarian National Committee expresses shock and concern for the detention of libertarian activists Ubaldo Herrera Hernandez and Manuel Velasquez by agents of the Castro regime in Cuba on February 2, whose unexplained detention raises suspicions that these political prisoners were targeted for their peaceful activism promoting limited government and free markets. **The two men are believed to be political prisoners imprisoned in the infamous Melena II facility, known for appalling living and working conditions. * *We further ask for an inquiry and response from** the Castro regime for information related to their detention, an accurate and complete register of charges, and and for assurances that they will receive fair and open trials on any legitimate charges. We further ask that the Cuban government for their immediate release should such information and assurances not be forthcoming. We encourage Libertarian Party members and supporters to contact their elected officials toward that end, and further ask that the IALP join us in applying diplomatic pressure for the Castro regime to release information related to their detention and call upon the national and international media to join us in these efforts.* -- *In Liberty,* *Caryn Ann Harlos* Region 1 Representative, Libertarian National Committee (Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington) - Caryn.Ann.
